Description
The Church of St Peter, built around 1905, is an unfurnished church designed by J A Chatwin, one of his last projects. It features red brick with stone dressings and a tiled roof. The church has a massive square tower that runs from north to south, creating a grand appearance, especially with the short polygonal chancel attached to it. The chancel has two-light windows and a three-light east window, displaying a style that transitions from Decorated to Perpendicular Gothic. The tower includes a polygonal stair turret and buttresses that enhance its width by extending the east and west wall lines. The nave has a clerestory with two-light windows arranged in pairs per bay. The transepts, located west of the crossing tower, are visible as two gabled bays, each featuring a three-light window. The tower is crenellated, and both the east and west walls are ramped up to a finial cross.
